Error starting apache

ventas · 04-08-2009, 02:00 PM

Hi,
I have install apache 2.2.11 from www.sunfreeware.com and php 5.2.6 with all the dependencies (gd and libpng included).

Added :
LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

to the httpd.conf file, I tried to remove libpng as suggested on other thread but did not work.

I get the following error while starting apache:

root@development # apachectl start
httpd: Syntax error on line 113 of /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load /usr/local/apache2/modules/libphp5.so into server: ld.so.1: httpd: fatal: relocation error: file /usr/local/lib/libgd.so.2: symbol png_get_error_ptr: referenced symbol not found

It is not clear in your post if you built php for apache. I can tell you did and you may try:

cp /usr/local/apache2/bin/apu-1-config /usr/bin

cp /usr/local/apache2/bin/apr-1-config /usr/bin

then rebuild your php it should work. Put back the libpng and make sure the crle is set properly to find all the libs.

Odd question for linuxquestions.

In the other post you mentioned, apart from the fact that it was for Solaris 10, the OP said it removed libpng and it worked, because AFAICT he removed the SMClibpng package (libpng provided by sunfreeware) and left with the native SUNWpng package where the symbol is defined.
You can see the difference (it's for Sol10, but I guess it's the same for Sol9)

Code:

Package SMClibpng
nm /usr/local/lib/libpng.so|grep png_get_error_ptr
[187]   |         0|       0|NOTY |GLOB |0    |UNDEF  |png_get_error_ptr

Packge SUNWpng
nm /usr/sfw/lib/libpng.so|grep png_get_error_ptr
[623]   |    115024|       8|FUNC |GLOB |0    |7      |png_get_error_ptr

So, you can also remove the libpng package from sunfreeware (SMClibpng), and leave only SUNWpng from your installation media. Or you can use LD_LIBRARY_PATH and put "/usr/sfw/lib" in front of "/usr/local/lib", so php/gd uses the SUNWpng libpng
